New rear tire, Angel ST. The old still had some tread left but with an upcoming trip I didn't want to stress over it.

This is a big plus for having your own tire machine. Leave on a trip with new rubber and don't stress over it. Keep the take offs to mess around with at home.

Road it 9.5 hrs to Sparta, NC. 6 hours on and off rain, and an hour of that was thunderstorms. BRP wet with leaves and tree and stone debris sucks. But it better than working. Maggie Valley tomorrow

Cleaned the cobwebs off the bike and checked the tires.

Searched for the GPS, moved it because of table "clutter" to please wife.
Or, right where I put it.

While in stop and go traffic this morning the ABS light lit up. About 3 minutes later I touch the rear brake and the ABS light turned off and remained off the rest of the day. Yippie skippy.

Check yer wheel sensors are corrosion-free and not bridging. Check yer rear brake pedal is not sticking or you inadvertently pressing it.....

What us bridging in wheel sensors?

The adapter plate is raw aluminum inside the hole for the sensor.... aluminum corrosion builds and can bridge over to the sensor, which electronically is a leak path... will send false signals. Clean hole, smear some dielectric or silicone grease in the hole and give the black plastic sleeve on the sensor a wee smear too.

You may or may not have an error code stored in DiAG related to sensor signals... no worries, just clear them.

Thanks Ray!
